A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs following a major cannabis seizure earlier this year.

Police stopped a vehicle on the A907 near Stirling services and recovered 50 kilograms of cannabis worth £140,000.

A 55-year-old man was later charged in connection with the recovery on September 30.

Detectives investigating the source of the drugs said they searched a property in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, yesterday.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "As a result, various pieces of evidence were seized and a 39-year-old male was detained."

The man is expected to appear at Stirling Sheriff Court today.

Detective Chief Inspector Kenny Gray said: "Removing drugs from our communities is a priority for Police Scotland and we continue to gather intelligence from the public on those involved in crimes of this nature.

"The public can rest assured that any information we receive in relation to drugs offences will be treated with the utmost seriousness and will be acted upon accordingly."
